Transfer Screen...RUN

[Enoch]

If your target manages to escape thanks to the trading window, then you're bad at pirating. Just saying.

Many have tried to do that as well....I simply make my demands clear, and give them a specified time....

I also continue to circle there ship even with the transfer screen up, just to let them know that I am still aware that I'm flying a spaceship.

I especially enjoy the ones who claim to "not understand", after repeating my demands one more time, and giving them time, I let them have it.

I refuse to believe a level72 char who "doesn't understand" is telling the truth, you can't make 100 mill credits and never run into a pirate situation. Those are the hungry one, so I offer them a delicious SNAC.

Theres loads of people who do seem to pretend to not understand the second you halt them. This doesn't just apply to pirates. Many people I've stopped with contraband on board tend to suddenly "Not understand english" the second I tell them to drop whatever contraband thier carrying. Its strange how they suddenly understand it when I say "Final warning, drop or be engaged".

On that note, save time and hassle by learning/using the server commands and/or drop your cargo. If you only use the transfer screen, DON'T RUN

Its a legitimate strategy :P

Exactly.

That's also a legitimate strategy :crazy:

I spose thats kind of true. Its like chucking your empty wallet at a mugger and making a break for the nearest exit. However, I could understand why the mugger (pirate in this case) would be annoyed.

No one said that it's not. It's simply a case of ... if your stategy sucks and/or doesn't work, don't go crying about it.

Oh god... The end of days... Agmen agreed with me.

I have the CD on mouse 3. So I can disrupt while typing or transferring.

Jeez why I never thought of this ...

Thanks for idea!

I have become pretty good at escaping pirates.

It takes practice though.

I'm not complaining about their tactics. I too take advantage of anything to come out on top. If they get away, I don't cry about it. I live and learn. Is it distasteful, to me yes. Should it be against the rules, no way. Deception is part of the game.
